[HPforGrownups] Longbottoms and "happy ever after"

[Jennifer Kington]

No: HPFGUIDX 30688


I seriously doubt she will end these books on a "Happily Ever After" note. 
She's said in several interviews that she's going to write these books the 
way she wants to, regardless of the age of her audience. Also, she's implied 
numerous times that Harry, the character almost everyone loves, may not 
survive, and also that many of the main characters may not survive either. 
She said once that book 7 will really wrap everything up as far as the 
survivors go, and I do believe she used the word "survivors." The books do 
get progressively darker and it would be ridiculous to end on a "Disney" 
note with everyone singing, dancing and smiling. Jen
